The General Feature Format (GFF) is a file format used for describing the features of biological sequences, such as genes and their various elements. It is widely utilized in bioinformatics for the annotation of genomic data and can accommodate diverse types of information related to sequence features. The GFF format consists of a series of lines, each representing a single feature, with fields separated by tabs.
